How to Add Lights to the Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack
Updated 02/11/2025 | Published 02/07/2025
Question:
I have a Yakima Holdup bike rack for 2 carrier and when I put the bicycles on the carrier with a cover it blocks the lights on my truck. I am wanting to install lights on this carrier. I would like lights that are removable and can be plugged in to my existing 7 or 4 pin receptacle on my truck. Maybe magnetic or maybe attached with a bracket? Please brainstorm and let me know your recommendations. Thank you

Hey Rick! While we do not have anything magnetic, I do have a solution for you that we've had quite the success with. I recommend the Curt Auxiliary LED Indicator Lights item # C53201. These auxiliary lights have a 3M backing to mount to the rear of your Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack item # Y02443 and will plug right in to your 4-way connector for power. The LEDs in each strip correspond with brake, turn, and running lights.

Thank you, that looks like it will work. I have a Norco E-Bike and my wife has a Trek E-Bike. It makes me fill like I'm in my 50's again. LOL
